Café Volio was established on April 1938 in Costa Rica's Central Market by Mr. Federico Volio, who passed the company down to his son-in-law Mr. Roberto Sáenz. During the 1950's the coffee industry in Costa Rica begins to grow at a rapid pace, forcing Mr. Sáenz to move his business elsewhere. Mr. Sáenz buys a more spacious establishment north from the Central Market, place where Distribuidora Volio S.A. still operates today.
